If your bank account feels lighter every time you try to go on a date, you aren’t imagining things. Dating is getting wildly expensive—especially if you live in a major summer hotspot.

A new report breaks down the “Single Tax Index” for summer, exposing the absolute most expensive places around the world to be single. The study looked at everything from the price of solo date nights and rooftop cocktails to hotel stays, beach clubs, and summer festivals.

The results? If you’re trying to date in these areas, you better prepare to pay a premium. Here are the top hotspots draining singles’ wallets:

1. Miami (The Undisputed Champ of Expensive Dating)

Miami officially took the #1 spot on the Single Tax Index. Between the surging cost of nightlife and high-end entertainment, being single in the 305 is a rich man’s game. According to the data, a casual date night for one averages around $110, while hitting up a trendy beach club or nightlife venue will easily run you $200 a night.

2. New York City

Coming in at a close second is New York. It’s no surprise that the Big Apple is a wallet-killer. From $25 cocktails on a Manhattan rooftop to the sheer cost of riding Ubers from borough to borough just to meet a match, NYC singles are paying premium prices across every single category just to keep their social lives alive.

3. Mykonos, Greece

For those looking for international summer love, Mykonos rounded out the top tier. The gorgeous island is famous for its beach parties, but the premium markup on accommodations and seasonal activities means trying to find a holiday fling here will cost you a small fortune.

How to Date Without Going Broke

With 41% of singles admitting they feel like a lack of financial resources gets in the way of their social connection, inflation is officially threatening our collective sex lives.

But you don’t need a penthouse budget to have a thrilling dating life. Here is how to fight back against the “Single Tax”:

• Ditch the $200 Dinner Date: High-stakes dinners are overrated anyway. Meet up for a beach walk, a casual park hangout, or hit up local happy hours. True chemistry doesn’t care if you’re eating caviar or food truck tacos.

• Keep it Casual: When you shift your focus to casual dating, the financial pressure drops. You don’t need to plan an entire weekend getaway or book a Michelin-starred spot to have an amazing, no-strings-attached night.

• Stop Paying Premium Prices to Meet People: Mainstream dating apps love to hide your best matches behind expensive monthly paywalls. If you want to connect with fun, local singles who are looking for the exact same things you are, you shouldn’t have to clear out your savings account.

Bottom line: you shouldn’t have to choose between paying rent and having a fun social life. At OnlineBootyCall, we believe that casual dating should be thrilling, direct, and—most importantly—affordable. You don’t need to live in a mansion or drop hundreds of dollars at a beach club just to get lucky or find a great connection.
